He started riding in the 2019 Giro d'Italia,
but he was suspended by his team following stage 3 after "seemingly unusual physiological results". The team refrained from commenting further until more tests were carried out. Molano did not start stage 4. Molano was later cleared to resume racing at the Adriatica Ionica Race in late-July 2019 after further tests found he was "highly sensitive to altitude changes."
In June 2022, Molano was disqualified from the Critérium du Dauphiné after he punched Hugo Page in the head. In September of the same year, he won the final stage of the 2022 Vuelta a España ahead of his team-mate Pascal Ackermann, despite the expectation that Ackermann would be the final man in the team's lead-out train.
Molano competed in the 2023 Vuelta a España. He took a win on Stage 12 of the race, finishing ahead of Kaden Groves.
